Long Beach Comic Con/Horror Con

I heard about this con on the radio and Hector also brought it up earlier this week and since the kids & I were free on Saturday, we decided to go.

We've been to the Anime Expo a couple of times and last summer we experienced the big mega Comic Con in San Diego just on the fringes and the kids seemed to be more and more interested so a smaller con would be a good starting point.

It's a also a huge plus that Long Beach is practically in our backyard so we didn't have to deal with a long drive with hotel too. This is their first con to dress in cosplay too and I tried to prepare them to take lots of photos and that other people might ask too (but it was for mostly me).

The kids are ready to hit the con!!

Inside the lobby posing in front of the banner. Heh, I didn't notice Josh cutting off Tyler's face when I shot this!

We got there around 11 am and the floor wasn't too crowded yet. The kids brought their 3DSs to see if they would get any street tags so that added another level of fun to their day.

Here are the photos from when we entered the con but by mid afternoon, the place was crowded.

A LEGO section displaying some serious workmanship and creativity.

Tyler had to explain some things to me. Like Moogles...in Kingdom Hearts. :)

But on to the cosplay....lots of characters running around and posing for pictures if you ask. :)

Starting my boys off early to pose with lovely cosplay babes. :)

And Wolverine for the ladies....

There was a long walkway inside to rooms set up for various panels and comfy chairs/sofas to lounge on .

Checking their 3DSs.

It was a nice and relaxing con that we walked through the aisles slowly at our own pace to check prices and various things I didn't see the first times.
